SEP (US) 2008 Election Campaign

The ISSE submitted a letter to the Strathclyde Telegraph, the student newspaper of Strathclyde University in Glasgow, in response to its attack on the meeting organised for the SEP’s US presidential candidate, Jerry White.

The election outcome is a massive repudiation of the Bush presidency, the Republican Party and nearly three decades of right-wing domination of American politics. It is a watershed election, one which reflects in the electoral framework the massive demographic, socio-economic and cultural shifts over the past quarter-century.

Socialist Equality Party candidates Jerry White and Bill Van Auken have completed a successful tour in the month leading up to the US general elections, speaking at meetings across the US and Canada, as well as in Britain and Germany.

Faced with dwindling poll numbers and an increasingly hostile political environment created by the economy's dizzying downward spiral, the Republican campaign of John McCain and Sarah Palin has responded with a virulently right-wing appeal directed to the most politically backward layers in America.

SEP election meetings

Between now and Election Day, Socialist Equality Party presidential candidate Jerry White and vice presidential candidate Bill Van Auken will speak at a series of meetings throughout the country. The candidates will also address meetings in Canada, Germany and Britain.

SEP candidate Jerry White spoke to workers at the American Axle & Manufacturing plant in Detroit explaining his opposition to the Wall Street bailout being orchestrated by the Bush administration with the full support of the Democrats.

Socialist Equality Party presidential candidate Jerry White went with a team of supporters to speak with workers at a crowded farmers market in downtown Detroit on Saturday, September 27. Many spoke with the World Socialist Web Site and contributed to the campaign.

Socialist Equality Party presidential candidate denounces Wall Street bailout and the support for it given by the Democratic Party. Jerry White declares that working people are being forced to pay the debts of the very people responsible for the economic crisis.
